This apartment is beyond expectations. Everything is super quality and there are more than enough kitchen utensils, etc. Location is also great, completely recommended!

Anita2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

We spent a few days in this wonderful house that perfectly reflects what wrote in the ad. Spotlessly clean, attention to detail and equipped with every comfort. The welcome, the garden, private parking for two cars and a swimming pool made our stay great, you can not want anything more.

We definitely recommend this place.

antonio2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

Very nice experience. Cortona is a very nice village to visit and a very interesting base point to visit both Tuscany and Umbria. Pamela was very welcoming. She came to find us at a meeting point. The house is a comfortable semidetached house, very well detailed with rustic tiles and wood beams but with all the services of a modern home. The house has its own parking space and there is a nice pool in common with the other houses, thought we rarely saw anyone there. The pool is perfect if traveling with kids in summer, we definitely had a great experience! The hosts were also very friendly and helpful.

Carles2016-07-15T00:00:00Z

The welcome was great and with a small gift waiting for us. The house is new, well maintained and with every comfort. The house is very clean and fresh with a lovely garden at the front where you can eat outdoors. Home use also the community pool, nearby and handled with care.

Antonella2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

Recommended! Wonderful accommodation! We rested by 6 people. Very clean, comfortable, cozy! The first night we were treated to a bottle of wine, it was very nice) Thank you for the atmosphere!

Алексей2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

The apartment is very nice, exactly like in the picture. The location is perfect for getting around and visit beautiful places like Cortona, Arezzo, Pienza, Montepulciano ... The hosts are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Monica2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

The house was very nice decorated and clean. The kitchen equipped with all neccessary for those who want to prepare their own food. We were welcomed with the bottle of wine from Pamela's husband's wineyard. He was very nice and willing to help with all our questions. The advantage of the house is its position as it is not far to Sienna, Arezzo, Asissi etc. We felt there like home and recommend the house for those who want to spend holiday in cosy and nice house and beautiful countryside.

This fully restored Tuscan farmhouse is simply precious! Breathtaking panoramic views of the valley and Cortona. Very cozy home, and only a seven minute drive into the center of Cortona. An hour train ride to Florence, and two from Rome. Amazing!

If your dream is to spend time in Tuscany and experience the lifestyle of this beautiful area then this home is a must. It is truly a home away from home. Easy to access many of the sights Tuscany has to offer and I know I will certainly be returning. Note a car is a must and access to the property is via a narrow road. Thanks for sharing this home with us.

Michelle2016-09-28T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay. The views were amazing, the location was great and the house was incredible. I will absolutely be staying again. The owner was so helpful and welcoming. Thank you so much!

Chad 2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

Excellent place dreamed to see ataedeceres in Tuscany and find peace and quiet. Must have a car to get and move from there. His home Isolina is a very gentle and kind, attentive to our needs person. Everything was as it the announcement. We spent some very nice days there. It would be appropriate to better describe the direction of the place not to miss. Liest was communicated to us by mail at all times.

Susana2016-07-26T00:00:00Z

This beautiful Tuscan House was just as cozy as we had hoped. The equipment was completely and modern but fit well into the house. Liesl has answered us before and during our stay every question immediately and has provided extensive information on the house and activities around available. From the house is full of beautiful places in Tuscany and Umbria and Lake Trasimeno by car in 20-45 are easy to reach min. The view from the terrace on Cortona and the whole area down to Lake Trasimeno is just gorgeous! We enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel absolutely.

Johanna2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

The best of the house was the geographically situation where is placed. The views are wonderful. To sit in front of the house, at 20.00, with a wine glass looking the sunset every day was great. Isolina, the woman that come to see if we need something, is a great person and helps to us all that we need.

Blanca2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

the house was great and the view was amazing! It has a pizza oven and a fireplace inside the house. Everything went well and we were happy. I will go this place again.

Marco2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Staying at Liesl's house was an amazing experience, starting from the gorgeous landscape we could see from the house to the smells of her beautiful garden. The house is everything you think of when you think of Tuscany. For everyone interested in having a perfect experience in Cortona, stay here! The directions given by Liesl were clear. You definitely need a car if you're going to stay here which you can rent in the nearby town of Camucia.

Lucia2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

Picked me up from the station. Had cake ready made for me. Offered a homemade pizza for me and then informed me she lived below after welcoming me into her gorgeous home. Very beautiful space. Grazie Mille! Dina went to Milano for the week, but left me everything I would need. Thanks!

Steven2015-10-11T00:00:00Z

The host canceled my reservation 13 days before arrival.

Arturo2011-09-17T00:00:00Z

I had a lovely stay at Dina's. The room was exactly as descibed and I had a kitchen full of delicious breakfast goodies. Dina went out of her way to make my stay. She picked me up from Terontola station when I arrived and dropped me there when I left. She also drove me to and from the beautiful town of Cortona! I thoroughly recommend staying here. Thank you Dina, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Liane2016-06-03T00:00:00Z

Dina welcomed me warmly and met me at the train station. She fed me lunch and dinner on my first day and took very good care of me. We communicated on our electronic devices since my Italian is not very good. The WiFi connection was excellent in her home. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and welcoming. I felt very at home and Dina made sure that my stay in Cortona was lovely.

Sue2013-04-09T00:00:00Z

We didn't know what to expect as Dina's house is located in a rural area near a small town. But from our arrival where she helped us collect our rental car and for our whole stay Dina went far beyond what most hosts could even consider. Her home is well reflected in the pictures on Airbnb, very unique, beautifully decorated. But her level of service and commitment to taking care of guests was quite extraordinary. She invested time in presenting food that fit our diets. Most important, Dina obviously loves looking after guests, she does so with a joy that is rare. Terontola is near Cortona which surprised us by being a living historical setting. If your travels take you near Dina's home she will take good care of you, better than good. We loved sharing her home.

Michael2013-05-26T00:00:00Z

Dina is a great host, even with the language barrier. There are two guest rooms, in an annexe, that share a excellent kitchen, bathroom and small lounge, plus a lovely garden with an outlook. I stayed alone and had a very nice stay, except the queen bed was a bit hard for my slim frame but still OK. Dina provided a great breakfast and even took and picked me up from the rail station (approx 1.5km away) for my day in Perugia. If you like dogs, then ask Dina to let Lillo out in the garden (ensure the gate is closed) for a little while. He is a a very playful, friendly dog that appreciates the attention.

Stephen2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Perfect stay in this cosy house. Dina is a great host and this house in comfortable, cosy and charming. We stayed for 3 nights visiting the wineries around and walking near the house. We loved the living room with the fire place and the useful kitchen. We would have stay longer!

Alexandra2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

Dina is a lady very friendly, kind and did everything to take me as well. He offered to get me and take me at the train station - since I do not drive - and also left and took me in the city of Cortona, I wanted so much to know. She does not speak English and I do not speak Italian, but as our languages are close to each other, we managed to communicate in one way or another. I recommend highly Dina and your home. Dina won my heart.

Liza2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

We had absolutely fantastic time staying by Enzo in his beautiful house. The host was very cordial and everything was just great. The place is superb to explore Umbria and Toscana by car.

Maria2012-08-31T00:00:00Z

Wonderful apartment. The swimming pool is not big, but larger then we expected. My children 11 and 13 years old, loved it. Highly recommended. The restaurant next to the house is excellent. We visited Lago Trasimeno (15 min), Cortona (15 min), Arezzo (60 min), Assisi and Perugia (1h 15 min). We asked for a some bowls and we got them right away. And we were treated with fresh prunes, zucchini's and lovely jam.

Robin2013-07-14T00:00:00Z

During our 4 day stay, Enzo made no attempt to contact us, in spite of the 3 emails sent trying to contact him. Had his niece not been there initially to give us keys to enter the house we would have had to find another place to stay. There are too many places to stay in the general area, with hosts that are far more responsive to their guests.

Stephen2014-07-16T00:00:00Z

A great place tot start your holidays. It is located nicely in the town close to a good restaurant. The house is perfect located to make daytrips to all the great places in Tuscany. Everything is clean and Enzo is very kind and helpfull. We had a great first time in Tuscany.

Etienne2014-09-07T00:00:00Z

What an unbelievable experience! Enzo and his wife Mirella made us feel very welcome and were available to help us out on many occasions. They made us feel a part of the local community and part of their family. Their knowledge of the area was amazing and their English much better than my Italian! The house is in a perfect location, close to public transport and lots of other beautiful towns. The local restaraunt is great as is the little shop for coffees almost next door. This is the place for a real 'Tuscany' experience.Neighbours were friendly. Lasting friendships made and will be returning again next year!

Vicki2016-07-23T00:00:00Z

Enzo and Mariella were very gracious hosts. Through the next door resident family we always had a contact. The elaborated by Enzo Tour suggestions were very useful. The property is an ideal base for the many attractions nearby.

Herbert2014-08-04T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful stay. We loved the location and all of the surounding area/towns. Enzo was such a gracious host and the apartment was larger that we thought. We considered it a great value and would consider returning with friends.

Wonderful cottage in "Casa Contea" with swimming pool, surrounded by nature, panoramic 360 ° view of the Val di Chiana and Lake Trasimeno, the ideal place to find relaxation and unplug from the chaos of the city.
Near Cortona.

Casa Contea was created from an old farmhouse dating back to 1800, completely renovated. With its stone walls, the courtyard, the wooden beams, you can recreate the atmosphere of the ancient past, combined with the comfort of our days. Its elevated position, surrounded by forest, dominates the entire Valdichiana offering a glimpse of the Lake Trasimeno. With its swimming pool which enjoys a breathtaking view, where you can see in the distance Montepulciano and the outline of Mount Amiata, you can indulge in blissful relaxation, leaving behind the stresses and strains of everyday life. To really get the beauty and fragrance of the countryside, we recommend healthy walking and cycling among the many routes available in the area, including the famous passage of Hannibal. Its strategic location allows to reach, with just a few minutes drive, the most important Umbrian and Tuscan historical, cultural and gastronomic sites. Casa Contea lies at 9 Km from Cortona, an Etruscan city in which you can visit historical buildings of a great interest, such as Fortress or the hermitage of the Celle, founded by St. Francis. Lovers of art and archeology, will satisfy their curiosity by visiting the Diocesan Museum, containing works by Luca Signorelli.
The farmhouse is divided in 3 apartments, two of which are in the main building (one on the ground floor and the other one on the first level) and the last one is an independent cottage which lies at 20 mt from the main house. Il Leccio cottage is composed by a typical countryside livable kitchen open to the living room. The living room is accessorized by the brick fireplace, a couple sofa-bed, LCD tv, and all the typical furniture of a farmhouse. Laterally you can find an ample double bedroom with a bathroom. The outside garden of 8000 square meters has got an amazing panoramic view overlooking the Lake Trasimeno from side to side and the whole Valdichiana; it's furnished by a grill and a stoned pizza wood oven and a panoramic stoned patio with outdoor tables and chairs with umbrellas just beside a big swimming pool surrounded by a roses enclosure and secure parking inside. In addition, for the free use of the guests, there are 4 mountain bikes, a laundry and a little grove of trees with a vineyard and a olive grove in which it's possible to take a walk, free wi-fi connection.
During spring and summer the area is fulfilled by cultural and typical folklore events. About 38 km from Arezzo, which was a major lucumonies Etruscan, then Roman city of strategic importance. Center full of interesting monuments such as the amphitheater, the Cathedral, the Medici Fortress and the town hall. Among all its beauty stands the Romanesque church of Santa Maria della Pieve. He was renowned for its famous coral vases. About 30 km from Montepulciano, famous for its imposing Renaissance palaces, the elegance of its churches, but especially for its fine wine noble, well-known importance of international importance. About 73 km from the city of Siena has a fabulous repertoire and geographic environment, full of villages, historical memories and treasures of art. Center that keeps alive its ancient traditions, of which the most important is the festival of the Palio. Perugia (42 km), Assisi (65 km) Spello (70 km)

We had a very pleasant and enjoyable three night stay at Casa Contea in early July. Breathtaking view including Montepulciano's lights in the dark, Lago Trasimeno and Cortona. A pool perfect for a refreshing swim after a hot day in one of the famous Tuscan villages, a mountain bike ride (which are at free disposal) or simply after the way back up the hill. A cottage with everything you need, with an interior that perfectly fits to the whole property, with every comfort you need. And last but not least, with Valentina we had the perfect host! Thx for the wine (which is btw from estate grown grapes)!

Michael2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

Experience just lovely. Casale unique landscape creepy, all surrounded by a manicured garden in detail. Too bad that the pool water was still a bit 'too cold, but it will be a good reason to go back. The apartment meets the description and is well equipped. The owners are very helpful and have been able to pass on this passion of those who love their land.

Alessandro2015-06-02T00:00:00Z

Amazing place. Isolated and with a stunning view. Valentina and Ivano are amazing, friendly and flexible hosts. A pure paradise

Stefano2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

We were absolutely enchanted with "Valentina's House"! The location gave us stunning views day and night. It is also convenient for day trips to many other interesting places. The cottage itself was charming and comfortable and all our needs totally provided. Our hosts were available for everything from leading us to the site to checking in on our comfort. We have already recommended this place to friends!

Tom2016-10-18T00:00:00Z

This cottage was amazing! I only and sorry I didn't have longer to stay and wish it was warm enough to swim in that amazing pool! Valentina is an amazing host and the place is immaculately clean. Valentina went out of her way to make our stay special! I would definitely recommend!

Andrea2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

Il Leccio's pictures are representive of what you will find. The cottage is warm and inviting. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to put on a full dinner for four. The property is very private and high up the hill with a wonderful view. The house is private from the other two apartments in the larger house as it is situated a little back from it. We enjoyed the lovely pool which is very close to the apartments. It appears to be further away on the satellite photo but it is right beside the houses. Valentina and Ivano look after the property very well and there are lovely flowers on the property and surrounding the pool. Valentina was very welcoming and was prompt in all her correspondence. We had a lovely time!!!

Karen2014-09-23T00:00:00Z

Staying at Valentina's was amazing! Exactly as described and the views were breath taking. Valentina kindly picked us up from and dropped us back at the train station. Highly recommended. Thanks Valentina!

Jason2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

The welcome from the landlord was very cordial. Because the house is high on a hill and the last 3 km is a dirt road, is the landlord in his car yourself to the location, after you have picked up from downtown (station) from the village Terentola at the foot of the hill. The house is fully equipped and the view is amazing and the fine swimming pool that is cleaned daily. Valentina and her partner Ivan, have done everything to make us feel and are very affectionate. From Terentola Cortona is reachable within 10 km and Lake Trasimeno is nearby.

Massimo and his family were warmly welcomed us in this little corner of paradise with great accommodation and a beautiful park. The small town of Terontola is located between Castiglione del Lago, a beautiful village overlooking a large lake and Cortona, a beautiful spot perched on the heights area. We relive those few days in the house of Massimo and hope to have the opportunity to return.

First of all - it's a museum, we felt like in a very interesting museum of the Italian life of the XIX-XX centuries, but the difference is - you can use all exhibits in the house. Massimo is great in painting and sculpture and you can see some of his frescs and pictures on the walls. On the 1st and 2nd floors live Massimo's mama and brother Paolo with his family - all of them are the nicest and intelligent people - always ready to help. Th ground floor with 2 entrances is very spacious - the entrance lounge with armchairs and piano (wish it would work next time:))), big kitchen with fireplace (suppose great in winter), 2 bedrooms, and salon with lots of music CDs (the best place to get internet in the house). It was extremely hot outside + 35-37, but we never used aircondition in the house - it is rally very fresh inside! And even during our outside dinners (around 12-13pm) was not hot at all because of great old trees above. The park is really great and first we were not sure it's all for us: swimming pool (around 1,3m deep) great for children and to refresh during the hot time, 2 sunbeds with umbrella, beautiful old archs with benches to rest under the trees, even teeter and slide for little children, as well as roofed swinging bench. We could play with the ball using the There is a badminton net, good place for barbeque and many turtles in the little aviary. Some food shops are just 5 minutes walk, big supermarket is just 9 km - everything is closed at 20.00! There are many must see places around - Cortona 10km (great city we've never heard before), Arezzo and Perugia - 40km, but we even didn't want to go anywhere because of all these great commodity at the villa. Grazie mille cari amici! Ritorniamo!

It was a wonderful holiday with Massimo and Livia. We felt very comfortable. The villa offers everything you need and is very pleasant inside during the hot summer days. The existing air conditioning is not even needed. The huge park has the swimming pool and the rest place many opportunities to have fun and do sports, especially for children optimally. Shadows with pleasant temperatures offer the courses under the old, large trees. Grocery stores and supermarkets are quickly and easily accessible. In the area there are many interesting places as Castiglione del Lago on Lake Trasimeno, Cortona, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Perugia, Bolsena on Lake Bolsena and the Outlet Village Valdichiana. Thank you for the very warm hospitality we were out all the time. We thank you especially for Paolo, the good soul of the house and of course at Nella, we have you closed quickly into the heart through your friendly warm kind. Next Thank you for common, good times Massimo, Livia, Marta, Lylli, Piera, Clara, Julio and Gabriele. There greet Jacqueline, Jason, Salomé, René and Ernesto Grazie mille cari amici. We look forward to a reunion.

Nicola was very helpful and accessible before, during and after our stay. I left a small item in the home and he mailed it to me later which was very kind. For future guests, make sure to let Nicola know how many of the rooms you would like to use. There was some confusion when we arrived because we were planning on having the entire house available but he had assumed that we would only need a few of the rooms since there were 2 adults and 4 small children. We had chosen this house because it would allow us to spread the kids out and be comfortable. After a brief discussion, he opened the next floor up and we used that room as well. Everything worked out but be sure to communicate what you require. We really enjoyed being in a quiet place, surrounded by olive trees. Thanks again, Nicola, for your flexibility during our stay!

We spent a week with four family members on the beginning of October 2015 in the villa –"Holiday House "The Window on Cortona". The house is big and gives a lot of space for the guests. The area around the house is nice - olive trees and a nice view to Crotona, the nearby city. The area around the house gives Privacy. Nikola the owner is wonderful person very kind and helpful – if you ask him he will gives a good recommendations for restaurants and information for locations and various stores. The area of the Vila was magical for us an urban people –vast fields, nice houses on the hills and in the small town. The house is fully equipped with kitchen tools each room is big and has toilet and shower. Most recommended. Joseph dana.

We were in a very nice large house, situated on a mountain, in the middle of an olive grove, on a very large property, housed. The view was amazing, at night sparkled Cortona in 1000 lights at us. To the house belonged to a swimming pool which was newly created and (no chlorine but salt was used) was cleaned daily. Likewise, the host family tried to always keep the property in order and came daily. We were four adults and required three bedrooms, one of which was a bathroom on each. More than enough room for all. Nicola we experienced as very friendly and very sought hosts us to make your stay nice. In the immediate vicinity (Camucia) there are shops for daily needs, but a real highlight is the nearby Cortona with its churches, its castle and its narrow streets and romantic. There you can shop very well and we never had the feeling that Cortona is already too much vertouristet. Continue to recommend is Siena, perhaps (to achieve better with the train, than by car) Florence, when you drive off early. Florence is very noisy and traffic strong, and you should take the time for the cathedral and museum visits. A tip is PORTOLE, which can be reached from Cortona a very winding mountain road and where you can sit and eat very nice. Due to the altitude (800 m), it is there also not too hot when it down "seething". All in all we were very happy with our holiday and would love to come back.

Gabriele2014-07-01T00:00:00Z

Nicola is a very nice helpful person. although he is not living at the house he always answered our mails and messages in minutes and came to the house immediately when it is needed. The location of the house is what we exactly wanted from our vacation: In the country side, isolated but within short drive to the city. The house is very big, it is actually two big apartments, but as of now the upper apartment is less conveniently accessed, therefore the house is for one large family. The sunsets from every window of the house is beautiful.

Aviva2014-05-17T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying in Nicola's apartment! It was in a great location with nice view. The place was as described and pictured. It was so well decorated! We arrived too lately but Nicola was waiting for us and met us. Seriously, this is the best we could expect here =) Thanks, Nicola! You are so friendly and hostess!
